Super Easy Potato Focaccia and Dinner-Saver.
Potatoes are an incredible ingredient: you can make so many recipes with them! Today, I decided to make a Potato Focaccia that is not only very easy, but believe me, it’s super tasty.
This time I improvised with what I had: I filled the focaccia with the last things left in the fridge, which were mortadella and mozzarella! Guys, let me tell you, it turned out so delicious you’ll be licking your lips!
Potato focaccia is made with very few and simple ingredients that we all have at home: potatoes, flour, egg, grated cheese, and salt.
Let’s start mixing it up!
Happy cooking, Giusi.

Ingredients For the Potato Focaccia
- 18 oz Boiled potatoes
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons pecorino cheese (or other grated cheese)
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (or 00)
- 1 pinch salt
- to taste Parsley
- 3 1/2 oz mortadella with pistachios
- 2 3/4 mozzarella for pizza
Steps For the Potato Focaccia
First, boil the potatoes and let them cool.
Place the potatoes in a bowl and mash them. Add the flour, the egg, the pecorino, the salt, and the parsley.
Knead all the ingredients with your hands until well combined and you get a compact dough.
Take a non-stick pan with a 9.5-10 inch diameter and grease it with oil.
Divide the dough into two and spread the first piece inside the pan, creating the base.
Fill with your filling (mortadella and mozzarella, or whatever you prefer) and then cover with the other half of the dough, working with your hands to seal the edges well.
Place the pan with the focaccia on the stove and cover with a lid. Cook at medium flame for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, flip the focaccia with the help of a plate and cook, still with the lid on, for another 10 minutes.
For the last two minutes of cooking, remove the lid to nicely brown the surface. Here it is! Your Super Easy Potato Focaccia is ready to be enjoyed.
Cut it into wedges and serve it hot, so the mozzarella and mortadella will be gooey. Trust me, it’s a delight!

Storage and tips.
Hot or cold? It’s delicious both ways! You decide: hot for a gooey filling, or cold for a picnic or an outdoor snack.

If you prefer a simpler taste, you could also choose to make it without filling. It will still be delicious, like a soft potato bread.
If there’s any leftover (unlikely, I know!), store the focaccia in the fridge wrapped in plastic wrap. You just need to reheat it for a moment in a pan or oven to enjoy it as if freshly made!
